Analysis of Basement Insulation Alternatives
The effect of alternate basement insulation configurations on annual house heating load was evaluated. A typical house and basement geometry was defined. Heating loads were estimated using two building energy performance simulation tools: the ESP-r and BASECALC computer programs, and weather data fo...
